Applications

11

Mission Critical vs. Mission Support

• Mission Critical Communications that are required to maintain safety of first responders and the people with whom they interact

• Mission Support Communications that provide improved operational efficiency, enhance safety, and augment command and control, but are not essential

12

Initial FirstNet high bandwidth data applications such as streaming video will be for mission support use

13

High Bandwidth Data Communications are Key to Future Public Safety Applications

Potential Public Safety Broadband Applications

• Video Surveillance, Remote Monitoring (streaming) • Dynamic Mapping, Weather, Traffic

• Remote Database Access/Queries (mug shots, finger prints, reporting, NCIC, criminal history, hot files)

• Instant Messaging, SMS, One-way Notifications, Tactical Chat Rooms

• Multimedia Command and Control (floor plans, incident stills, surveillance)

• Real-time, One- and Two-Way Video in Vehicles or Handhelds

• Computer-aided Dispatch (CAD), Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1)

• Geo-Location and Asset Tracking (vehicle, personnel, assets)

• Records Management Systems Access (local queries)

• Mobile Office (bulk file transfer, email, Internet web access, VPN)

• Mobile Incident Command • Geospatial Applications

• Medical Telemetry • Automated License Plate Recognition

• Field Based Reporting • Digital Signage, Traffic Alerts, Automated Transactions

• Remote Control of Robotic Devices • Standardized Push-To-Talk (PTT), Voice over IP (VoIP) - future

14

Motorola’s Kopin Golden-I Mobile Computing showcased by Verizon’s recent ad campaign illustrates future integrated applications enabled by high bandwidth data networking.

Vision of the Future: Public Safety Broadband Network Applications in Action

FirstNet Network will enable Future Applications

15 FirstNet’s high speed data network can dramatically improve situational awareness

• Real-time one and two-way streaming video

• Multimedia Command & Control (incl. video)

• Mobile Incident Command

• Situational Awareness (incl. geo location and asset, vehicle, personnel tracking)

• Large file transfer/download (floor plans, high res photos, heat maps, evacuation plans)

• Medical telemetry (biometrics)

16

Future Vision: Patrick Jackson – Google Glass

Rapid advances in today’s wearable computing devices indicate the future may not as far away as we imagine

• Incorporate feedback and additional data as it is collected (SLIGP Phase 2/RFP Process)

Guiding Principles • Ensure on-going review/

refinement process with state • Jointly develop tradeoffs and

priorities

Learn more about FirstNet

• On the Web www.firstnet.gov – the latest from the national level www.calema.ca.gov – search “CalFRN” www.firstnetinoregon.org – articles, videos, weblinks, newsfeeds

• Inform your staff and peers Contact Cal OES for outreach materials, speaking schedules, and more:

CalFRN@CalOES.ca.gov 916.657.9466 916.657.9172

• Learn more about LTE technology: Coverage/Capacity (mobile, portable, in-building) Backhaul, Security, Cost User Devices (mobile, handheld, tablets) Public Safety Applications

36

Participate in the Process

Things you can do now: • Complete the FirstNet in California Survey

for your organization – How do you use mobile data today? – What are your priorities? – How many users?

• Send a representative to the DHS OEC Broadband Consultation Prep Workshop – 8/26, Rancho Cordova (Sacto) – Seating limited. If full, don’t worry, there will

more opportunities.

37

• Who are your decision makers? – Who owns your assets

Radio sites, fiber-optic/microwave backhaul, links to PSAP/dispatch centers – Who can negotiate on your behalf

• Who are your users? – Law, Fire, EMS – Other first responders – “Second” responders

• How will you govern? – Who can use – Who has priority – Identity management – Billing – User support – Training/exercise

38

Prepare Locally

Manage Expectations

Help us manage expectations

• LTE is not a replacement for LMR technology today

• LMR will continue to provide mission critical voice communications for the foreseeable future

39

• The LTE data network introduces new capabilities to assist the first responder – Provides new supplementary data and

video services – Its true power and value will be realized

once useful, interoperable applications are in the hands of users

40

Future Vision: Public Safety Broadband Network Applications in Action

Precision Information Environment (PIE) DHS Command, Control and Interoperability Division Basic/Futures Research program has developed a compelling video to illustrate broadband’s potential within emergency management.

Public Safety Communications Evolution to a Single Converged Mission Critical Platform
